Hi,

I'm planning to make a site that will need both a modular, block-based structure on the pages, similar to the Overflow starter kit included with Umbraco 7, and 1:1 localization.

I really like the way that the Overflow starter kit structures its pages: It stores most of the content for each page in sub-nodes that don't have templates, and loops through them looking for an associated partial view that adds the content to the template. This way, editors not only have control over content in a block, but can sort and repeat blocks as they wish, per-page. I'm not sure how this would work with Polygot, though.

If you're not familiar, here's an excerpt from the Overflow source code that explains nicely:

The template is a single page website, but we still want to be able to add block of content in a variable way in there. This is being done by adding children under the homepage and looping through them and then rendering them with a specific partial view. In this foreach loop we dynamically find the appropriate partial based on the alias of the document type for the child.

So if the child node has a document type with the alias "umbTextPage", we would Render the partial "umbTextPage" for that child node. This way we can easily add multiple "umbTextPage" children, or multiple "umbFeature" children, and so on.

@foreach (var child in Model.Content.Children) {
Html.RenderPartial(child.DocumentTypeAlias, child);
}

Is it possible to use Polygot with this sort of block-based page structure? If not, is there any alternate way that a site can be built using Polygot that allows editors to add and edit vertically stacked blocks of content in a way that can be adjusted per-page?

Thanks,
David
